Is it better to feed fish to a person, or teach them to catch one?
I admit that I was snarky as a response to the entitlement I sensed in his reply to the LMGTFY link. When I come across a discussion on Hacker News (or elsewhere) talking about things I don't know, I take a moment to Google first.
Because asking "who is he, and why should I care?" (which is what the original question amounts to) isn't contributing to the discussion much either.
